Wang Zhengfei was equally filled with righteous indignation.
However, he frowned and asked, "Did you see what kind of bird it was?"
There were many kinds of bird-type spirit beasts.
"I…" He Biyu's anger stalled, and she looked a little confused. "It was black…"
"And then? Anything more specific?"
He Biyu's voice grew quieter, "It was very big…"
Wang Zhengfei frowned deeply, "Anything else?"
A spirit beast capable of easily eating a third-rank Dark Iron Centipede had to be at least peak third-rank or above.
And from what they had learned from Ke Minglu earlier, the protective formations here couldn't stop spirit beasts above fourth-rank.
Fourth-rank spirit beasts being huge in size was completely normal.
As for black birds, there were many.
Even among eagles and falcons there were many differences!
Under his questioning, He Biyu's face turned pale, "I… I didn't see clearly…"
At the time, she had ordered the Dark Iron Centipede to rush forward to bite Jiang Yunnuan, intending to teach her a lesson.
Then a huge black bird descended from the sky.
Its speed had been so fast that she didn't even have time to react before it had already flown back into the sky.
It had been dark, so she couldn't see its appearance clearly.
After that, the centipede suffered a severe injury, and as its contractor she suffered the backlash and fainted.
Now that she tried to recall it, she truly couldn't remember what the bird looked like.
After hearing this, Wang Zhengfei's expression turned extremely ugly, "You don't even remember what it looked like. How are we supposed to find it?!"
"Could that bird know Jiang Yunnuan and the others?" Jiang Yuanxin quietly suggested.
She had just been beaten until her face resembled a pig's head. After applying ointment, she finally looked a bit less miserable.
But she could still feel the lingering pain and the humiliation that couldn't be erased.
This was the first, no, the second time she had been humiliated like this!
Thinking about what she had suffered, Jiang Yuanxin wanted nothing more than to kill Jiang Yunnuan.
"Know Jiang Yunnuan?" Wang Zhengfei looked over sharply. "Are you sure?"
"I… I'm not sure." Jiang Yuanxin originally wanted to nod but ended up shaking her head. "But if the bird didn't know them, why would it attack?"
Zhao Hanxue frowned slightly and shared what she knew, "That spirit beast should be a fourth-rank one. Fourth-rank spirit beasts wouldn't casually come down here."
"They definitely know each other!" He Biyu immediately shouted. "They absolutely know each other!"
"Could it be Jiang Yunnuan's contracted beast?!" Even Jiang Yuancheng changed expression.
"Impossible!" Jiang Yuanxin denied immediately. "That's a fourth-rank spirit beast. How could Jiang Yunnuan possibly have such a contracted beast? She couldn't even come into contact with something like that!"
Even they had difficulty contracting a spirit beast.
Yet Jiang Yunnuan has a fourth-rank contracted beast?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
At least Jiang Yuanxin would never believe Jiang Yunnuan had such good luck.
"If it was a contracted beast, wouldn't it stay by its owner's side?" Her face looked extremely unpleasant. "Besides, didn't they say today that they didn't know that bird?"
She would rather believe the bird had appeared out of righteous courage than admit it had anything to do with Jiang Yunnuan.
"If they have nothing to do with it, why would the bird help them?" Zhao Hanxue carefully asked. "Out of justice?"
He Biyu immediately shot her a cold glare.
Justice? Since when did spirit beasts possess such noble virtues?
Zhao Hanxue shrank back in fright and didn't dare speak again.
Xu Chengjun protectively pulled her behind him and said, "They know they've caused a huge problem, of course they won't admit they're connected to the bird. Otherwise they'd just be waiting for us to settle accounts with them."
He then addressed everyone, "How about this, we'll keep a close watch on them while also sending people to search for that bird."
Wang Zhengfei's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, "We must pay attention to both sides!"
Not only them, even Cui Yi'an wanted to get to the bottom of this matter.
The bird had suddenly barged in and eaten the Dark Iron Centipede, this incident was no small matter.
Most hateful of all was Ke Minglu's unreasonable meddling that caused him heavy losses.
So he must find that bird!
Thus several parties dispatched people to search for the bird's whereabouts.
At the same time, Chu Jingzhuo and the others were also searching for the Black Abyss Falcon.
Ever since it had taken the centipede into the sky, it had disappeared without a trace.
"Where did Senior Da Hei go?"
Unable to contact the Black Abyss Falcon with the whistle, Jiang Yunnuan and the others were becoming anxious.
"What if it got captured?!"
"That's unlikely." Chu Jingzhuo shook his head with a serious expression. "If it had been captured, there would definitely be news by now."
He Biyu had suffered a huge loss, she definitely wouldn't easily let it go.
Given Myriad Beast Sect's vindictive style, if they had caught the falcon they would've announced it everywhere to warn others.
But right now, they probably still couldn't even confirm that it was a Black Abyss Falcon.
So it should still be safe.
"But where did senior go?" Jiang Yunnuan was worried, since the matter had happened because of her.
"Could it've been poisoned?!" Meng Fanzé suddenly gasped.
The moment he said that, everyone's faces changed, "No way…"
"That centipede looked extremely venomous! If Senior Da Hei ate it…"
"No way?"
"Definitely not!"
Although they said that, everyone started worrying.
Lu Wenjun shook her head, "It won't happen. Senior Da Hei is a falcon. Centipedes and other crawling creatures are part of its diet. Their poison isn't much to it, have you ever seen a bird die from insect venom?"
"…."
They didn't seem to.
"I also think little junior sister makes sense." Qin Yiwei nodded. "Senior probably went somewhere else, it should be safe."
At the very least, they hadn't heard any news about someone capturing a Black Abyss Falcon.
"Yes, senior is a fourth-rank spirit beast, much stronger than us!" Xin Jinrui nodded.
Even so, everyone still felt uneasy.
After all, the falcon might be facing several groups of people searching for it and all sorts of dangers.
While they were worrying, something at Qin Yiwei's waist suddenly vibrated.
It was her communication talisman.
A message from Master!
Qin Yiwei immediately took it out and infused it with a bit of spiritual energy.
The talisman was simple, it's just a small square piece of folded white paper.
A line of words appeared on it.
—Da Hei has returned, it will come find you later.
After displaying for a short while, the words disappeared.
However, once the text had appeared on that portion of the paper, it couldn't be used again.
Qin Yiwei was overjoyed, "We have news of Senior Da Hei!"
"What?!"
"Where?"
"It went back to find Master!"
After reading the message, everyone froze, "It went back to find Master?!"
So suddenly?
